Early Winter.

The waning year looked gently down
On these bright days that come and 90;
Dead, faded. buried Is the crown
That Summer wore, with face aglow,
When June stepped lightly DER the hills,
And through the wales sent Fastening rillA
Those blissful days come back to chase
The gloom from chill December skies;
Their fragrance fingers vet to grace
Paths where all tender blooming dies,-
Where the brown earth, with tranquil breast,
Prepares to take its long, deep rest.
Through naked boughs the sunlight sifts
And gives them beauty all their own:
Nor yet the feathery snowflake drifts
Through silent woods. on moss and stone:
The hallowed hush, the softened hue,
Weave their own nxmeless charm anew.
The old year wanes: the birds of spring
Now gladden. other skies than ours;
No bud unfolds: no insect wing
Sends tribute to these fastening hours;
But plaintive voices stir below
Their Swallowed and unceasing flow.
Thought wsnders back, and grasps anew
All that earth gave Of good and fair
The loves, the hopes that upward grew
But persisted as the days went by
Zen rs the flowers that round us lie.
We know that spring will come and bring
Again earth's need of song and bloom;
We know, too, that other spring
Hath, somewhere in Gods garden, room
Where love stall find its own, nor miss
One drop from its pure draught of blisa
